For this purpose, since you are only looking to remove a few ounces, 6 or 7 feet of vinyl tubing (maybe 5/16", you have to eyeball it) from any hardware store--new and clean. Slide one end down the dipstick tube, place a container on the garage floor, kneel next to the container and suck on the tube. Once the siphon is started, it will drain itself. Keep one (or both) eye on the tube or you may get a little tranny fluid in your mouth. Not healthy, not tasty, but not fatal. Do not swallow.

On a related note, I have been considering a topsider for some time, but last week our volunteer fire chief pulled out a small electric pump to change the oil on a tanker, sweet little unit and really fast pumping of 15 or 16 quarts. Gonna check on that tomorrow when i see him next.
